It is parsed by \c doxygen. The file may contain tabs and newlines for formatting purposes. The statements in the file are case-sensitive. Comments may be placed anywhere within the file (except within quotes). Comments begin with the \# character and end at the end of the line. The file essentially consists of a list of assignment statements. Each statement consists of a \c TAG_NAME written in capitals, followed by the \c = character and one or more values. Values are sequences of non-blanks. If the value should contain one or more blanks it must be surrounded by quotes ("..."). Multiple lines can be concatenated by inserting a backslash (\\) as the last character of a line. Environment variables can expanded using the pattern \c $(ENV_VARIABLE_NAME). The configuration options can be divided into several categories. Below is an alphabetical index of the tags that are recognized followed by the descriptions of the tags grouped by category. \htmlonly \endhtmlonly \latexonly \end{CompactList} \end{multicols} \normalsize \endlatexonly \subsection config_general General options \anchor cfg_project_name
\c PROJECT_NAME
\addindex PROJECT_NAME The \c PROJECT_NAME tag is a single word (or a sequence of words surrounded by double-quotes) that should identify the project for which the documentation is generated. This name is used in the title of most generated pages and in a few other places. \anchor cfg_project_number
\c PROJECT_NUMBER
\addindex PROJECT_NUMBER The \c PROJECT_NUMBER tag can be used to enter a project or revision number. This could be handy for archiving the generated documentation or if some version control system is used. \anchor cfg_output_directory
\c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
\addindex OUTPUT_DIRECTORY The \c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY tag is used to specify the (relative or absolute) path into which the generated HTML and Latex documentation will be written. If a relative path is entered, it will be relative to the location where doxygen was started. If left blank the current directory will be used. \anchor cfg_output_language
\c OUTPUT_LANGUAGE
\addindex OUTPUT_LANGUAGE The \c OUTPUT_LANGUAGE tag is used to specify the language in which all documentation generated by doxygen is written. Doxygen will use this information to generate all constant output in the proper language.

This option has no effect if \c EXTRACT_ALL is enabled. \anchor cfg_hide_undoc_classes
\c HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES
\addindex HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES If the \c HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSESS tag is set to \c YES, Doxygen will hide all undocumented classes. If set to \c NO (the default) these classes will be included in the various overviews. This option has no effect if \c EXTRACT_ALL is enabled. \anchor cfg_brief_member_desc
\c BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC
\addindex BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC If the \c BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will include brief member descriptions after the members that are listed in the file and class documentation (similar to JavaDoc). Set to NO to disable this. \anchor cfg_repeat_brief
\c REPEAT_BRIEF
\addindex REPEAT_BRIEF If the \c REPEAT_BRIEF tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will prepend the brief description of a member or function before the detailed description \par Note: If both \c HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS and \c BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC are set to \c NO, the brief descriptions will be completely suppressed. \anchor cfg_always_detailed_sec
\c ALWAYS_DETAILED_SEC
\addindex ALWAYS_DETAILED_SEC If the \c ALWAYS_DETAILED_SEC and \c REPEAT_BRIEF tags are both set to \c YES then Doxygen will generate a detailed section even if there is only a brief description. \anchor cfg_full_path_names

\addindex SOURCE_BROWSER If the \c SOURCE_BROWSER tag is set to \c YES then a list of source files will be generated. Documented entities will be cross-referenced with these sources. \anchor cfg_inline_sources
\c INLINE_SOURCES
\addindex INLINE_SOURCES Setting the \c INLINE_SOURCES tag to \c YES will include the body of functions, classes and enums directly into the documentation. \anchor cfg_strip_code_comments
\c STRIP_CODE_COMMENTS
\addindex STRIP_CODE_COMMENTS Setting the \c STRIP_CODE_COMMENTS tag to \c YES (the default) will instruct doxygen to hide any special comment blocks from generated source code fragments. Normal C and C++ comments will always remain visible. \anchor cfg_case_sense_names
\c CASE_SENSE_NAMES
\addindex CASE_SENSE_NAMES If the \c CASE_SENSE_NAMES tag is set to \c NO (the default) then Doxygen will only generate file names in lower case letters.

\addindex ENABLED_SECTIONS The \c ENABLE_SECTIONS tag can be used to enable conditional documentation sections, marked by \ref cmdif "\\if" \ ... \ref cmdendif "\\endif" blocks.
\subsection messages_input Options related to warning and progress messages \anchor cfg_quiet
\c QUIET
\addindex QUIET The \c QUIET tag can be used to turn on/off the messages that are generated to standard output by doxygen. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO, where \c YES implies that the messages are off. If left blank \c NO is used. \anchor cfg_warnings
\c WARNINGS
\addindex WARNINGS The \c WARNINGS tag can be used to turn on/off the warning messages that are generated to standard error by doxygen. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO, where \c YES implies that the warnings are on. If left blank \c NO is used. \b Tip: Turn warnings on while writing the documentation. \anchor cfg_warn_if_undocumented
\c WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED
\addindex WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED If \c WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED is set to \c YES, then doxygen will generate warnings for undocumented members. If \c EXTRACT_ALL is set to \c YES then this flag will automatically be disabled. \anchor cfg_warn_format
\c WARN_FORMAT
\addindex WARN_FORMAT The WARN_FORMAT tag determines the format of the warning messages that doxygen can produce. The string should contain the \$file, \$line, and \$text tags, which will be replaced by the file and line number from which the warning originated and the warning text.
\subsection config_input Input related options \anchor cfg_input
\c INPUT
\addindex INPUT The \c INPUT tag is used to specify the files and/or directories that contain documented source files. You may enter file names like \c myfile.cpp or directories like \c /usr/src/myproject. Separate the files or directories with spaces.
\b Note: This tag (and only this tag) is \e required. \anchor cfg_file_patterns
\c FILE_PATTERNS
\addindex FILE_PATTERNS If the value of the \c INPUT tag contains directories, you can use the \c FILE_PATTERNS tag to specify one or more wildcard patterns (like \c *.cpp and \c *.h ) to filter out the source-files in the directories.

If left blank all files are included. \anchor cfg_image_path
\c IMAGE_PATH
\addindex IMAGE_PATH The \c IMAGE_PATH tag can be used to specify one or more files or directories that contain images that are to be included in the documentation (see the \ref cmdimage "\image" command). \anchor cfg_input_filter
\c INPUT_FILTER
\addindex INPUT_FILTER The \c INPUT_FILTER tag can be used to specify a program that doxygen should invoke to filter for each input file. Doxygen will invoke the filter program by executing (via popen()) the command: \verbatim \endverbatim where \ is the value of the \c INPUT_FILTER tag, and \ is the name of an input file. Doxygen will then use the output that the filter program writes to standard output.
\subsection alphabetical_index Alphabetical index options \anchor cfg_alphabetical_index
\c ALPHABETICAL_INDEX
\addindex ALPHABETICAL_INDEX If the \c ALPHABETICAL_INDEX tag is set to \c YES, an alphabetical index of all compounds will be generated. Enable this if the project contains a lot of classes, structs, unions or interfaces. \anchor cfg_cols_in_alpha_index
\c COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX
\addindex COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX If the alphabetical index is enabled (see \c ALPHABETICAL_INDEX) then the \c COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX tag can be used to specify the number of columns in which this list will be split (can be a number in the range [1..20]) \anchor cfg_ignore_prefix
\c IGNORE_PREFIX
\addindex IGNORE_PREFIX In case all classes in a project start with a common prefix, all classes will be put under the same header in the alphabetical index. The \c IGNORE_PREFIX tag can be used to specify a prefix (or a list of prefixes) that should be ignored while generating the index headers.
\subsection html_output HTML related options \anchor cfg_generate_html
\c GENERATE_HTML
\addindex GENERATE_HTML If the \c GENERATE_HTML tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will generate HTML output \anchor cfg_html_output
\c HTML_OUTPUT
\addindex HTML_OUTPUT The \c HTML_OUTPUT tag is used to specify where the HTML docs will be put. If a relative path is entered the value of \c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY will be put in front of it. If left blank `html' will be used as the default path. \anchor cfg_html_header
\c HTML_HEADER
\addindex HTML_HEADER The \c HTML_HEADER tag can be used to specify a user defined HTML header file for each generated HTML page. To get valid HTML the header file should contain at least a \c and a \c tag, but it is good idea to include the style sheet that is generated by doxygen as well. Minimal example: \verbatim My title \endverbatim If the tag is left blank doxygen will generate a standard header. The following commands have a special meaning inside the header: \$title, \$datetime, \$date, \$doxygenversion, \$projectname, \$projectnumber. Doxygen will replace them by respectively the title of the page, the current date and time, only the current date, the version number of doxygen, the project name (see \c PROJECT_NAME), or the project number (see \c PROJECT_NUMBER). See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate the default header that doxygen normally uses. \anchor cfg_html_footer
\c HTML_FOOTER
\addindex HTML_FOOTER The \c HTML_FOOTER tag can be used to specify a user defined HTML footer for each generated HTML page. To get valid HTML the header file should contain at least a \c and a \c tag. A minimal example: \verbatim \endverbatim If the tag is left blank doxygen will generate a standard footer. The following commands have a special meaning inside the header: \$title, \$datetime, \$date, \$doxygenversion, \$projectname, \$projectnumber. Doxygen will replace them by respectively the title of the page, the current date and time, only the current date, the version number of doxygen, the project name (see \c PROJECT_NAME), or the project number (see \c PROJECT_NUMBER). See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate the default footer that doxygen normally uses. \anchor cfg_html_stylesheet
\c HTML_STYLESHEET
\addindex HTML_STYLESHEET The \c HTML_STYLESHEET tag can be used to specify a user defined cascading style sheet that is used by each HTML page. It can be used to fine-tune the look of the HTML output. If the tag is left blank doxygen will generate a default style sheet. See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate the style sheet that doxygen normally uses. \anchor cfg_html_align_members
\c HTML_ALIGN_MEMBERS
\addindex HTML_ALIGN_MEMBERS If the \c HTML_ALIGN_MEMBERS tag is set to \c YES, the members of classes, files or namespaces will be aligned in HTML using tables. If set to \c NO a bullet list will be used. Note: Setting this tag to \c NO will become obsolete in the future, since I only intent to support and test the aligned representation. \anchor cfg_generate_htmlhelp
\c GENERATE_HTMLHELP
\addindex GENERATE_HTMLHELP If the \c GENERATE_HTMLHELP tag is set to \c YES then doxygen generates three additional HTML index files: \c index.hhp, \c index.hhc, and \c index.hhk. The \c index.hhp is a project file that can be read by Microsoft HTML help workshop \latexonly (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/htmlhelp) \endlatexonly on Windows. The HTML workshop contains a compiler that can convert all HTML output generated by doxygen into a single compressed HTML file (.chm). Compressed HTML files are now used as the Windows 98 help format, and will replace the old windows help format (.hlp) on all Windows platforms in the future. Compressed HTML files also contain an index, a table of contents, and you can search for words in the documentation (which basically renders \c doxysearch obsolete on Windows). The HTML workshop also contains a viewer for compressed HTML files.
\subsection latex_output LaTeX related options \anchor cfg_generate_latex

\c LATEX_HEADER
\addindex LATEX_HEADER The \c LATEX_HEADER tag can be used to specify a personal \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ header for the generated latex document. The header should contain everything until the first chapter. If it is left blank doxygen will generate a standard header. See section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to let doxygen write the default header to a separate file. \par Note: Only use a user defined header if you know what you are doing! The following commands have a special meaning inside the header: \$title, \$datetime, \$date, \$doxygenversion, \$projectname, \$projectnumber. Doxygen will replace them by respectively the title of the page, the current date and time, only the current date, the version number of doxygen, the project name (see \c PROJECT_NAME), or the project number (see \c PROJECT_NUMBER). \anchor cfg_pdf_hyperlinks
\c PDF_HYPERLINKS
\addindex PDF_HYPERLINKS If the \c PDF_HYPERLINKS tag is set to \c YES, the LaTeX that is generated is prepared for conversion to pdf (using ps2pdf). The pdf file will contain links (just like the HTML output) instead of page references This makes the output suitable for online browsing using a pdf viewer. \anchor cfg_latex_batchmode
\c LATEX_BATCHMODE
\addindex LATEX_BATCHMODE If the \c LATEX_BATCHMODE tag is set to \c YES, doxygen will add the \\batchmode. command to the generated \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ files. This will instruct \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ to keep running if errors occur, instead of asking the user for help. This option is also used when generating formulas in HTML.
\subsection rtf_output RTF related options \anchor cfg_generate_rtf
\c GENERATE_RTF

\addindex RTF_HYPERLINKS If the \c RTF_HYPERLINKS tag is set to \c YES, the RTF that is generated will contain hyperlink fields. The RTF file will contain links (just like the HTML output) instead of page references. This makes the output suitable for online browsing using Word or some other Word compatible reader that support those fields. \par note: wordpad (write) and others do not support links. \anchor cfg_rtf_stylesheet_file
\c RTF_STYLESHEET_FILE
\addindex RTF_STYLESHEET_FILE Load stylesheet definitions from file. Syntax is similar to doxygen's config file, i.e. a series of assigments. You only have to provide replacements, missing definitions are set to their default value. See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate the default style sheet that doxygen normally uses.
\subsection man_output Man page related options \anchor cfg_generate_man

\subsection config_extref External reference options \anchor cfg_tagfiles
\c TAGFILES
\addindex TAGFILES The \c TAGFILES tag can be used to specify one or more tagfiles. See section \ref doxytag_usage for more information about the usage of tag files. Optionally an initial location of the external documentation can be added for each tagfile. The format of a tag file without this location is as follows:
TAGFILES = file1 file2 ... 
Adding location for the tag files is done as follows:
TAGFILES = file1=loc1 "file2 = loc2" ... 
where \c loc1 and \c loc2 can be relative or absolute paths or URLs, If a location is present for each tag, the installdox tool (see section \ref installdox_usage for more information) does not have to be run to correct the links. \par Note: Each tag file most have a unique name and if a tag file is not located in the directory in which doxygen is run, you must also specify the path to the tagfile here. \anchor cfg_generate_tagfile
\c GENERATE_TAGFILE
\addindex GENERATE_TAGFILE When a file name is specified after \c GENERATE_TAGFILE, doxygen will create a tag file that is based on the input files it reads. See section \ref doxytag_usage for more information about the usage of tag files. \anchor cfg_allexternals

\addindex DOT_PATH This tag can be used to specify the path where the dot tool can be found. If left blank, it is assumed the dot tool can be found on the path. \anchor cfg_max_dot_graph_height
\c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT
\addindex MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT The \c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT tag can be used to set the maximum allows height (in pixels) of the graphs generated by dot. If a graph becomes larger than this value, doxygen will try to truncate the graph, so that it fits within the specified constraint. Beware that most browsers cannot cope with very large images. \anchor cfg_max_dot_graph_width
\c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH
\addindex MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH The \c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH tag can be used to set the maximum allowed width (in pixels) of the graphs generated by dot. If a graph becomes larger than this value, doxygen will try to truncate the graph, so that it fits within the specified constraint. Beware that most browsers cannot cope with very large images.
\subsection config_search Search engine options \anchor cfg_searchengine
\c SEARCHENGINE
\addindex SEARCHENGINE The \c SEARCHENGINE tag specifies whether or not a search should be used. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO. If set to \c NO or left blank, the values of all other tags in this section will be ignored. \anchor cfg_cgi_name
\c CGI_NAME
\addindex CGI_NAME The \c CGI_NAME tag should be the name of the CGI script that starts the search engine (doxysearch) with the correct parameters. A script with this name will be generated by doxygen. \anchor cfg_cgi_url
\c CGI_URL
\addindex CGI_URL The \c CGI_URL tag should be the absolute URL to the directory where the cgi binaries are located. See the documentation of your http daemon for details. \anchor cfg_doc_url
\c DOC_URL
\addindex DOC_URL The \c DOC_URL tag should be the absolute URL to the directory where the documentation is located. If left blank the absolute path to the documentation, with \c file:// prepended to it, will be used. This is correct for local viewing only. \anchor cfg_doc_abspath
\c DOC_ABSPATH
\addindex DOC_ABSPATH The \c DOC_ABSPATH tag should be the absolute path to the directory where the documentation is located. If left blank the directory on the local machine will be used. \anchor cfg_bin_abspath
\c BIN_ABSPATH
\addindex BIN_ABSPATH The \c BIN_ABSPATH tag must point to the directory where the doxysearch binary is installed. \anchor cfg_ext_doc_paths
\c EXT_DOC_PATHS
\addindex EXT_DOC_PATHS The \c EXT_DOC_PATHS tag can be used to specify one or more paths to documentation generated for other projects. This allows doxysearch to search the documentation for these projects as well. All paths must be absolute.

Examples

Suppose you have a simple project consisting of two files: a source file \c example.cc and a header file \c example.h. Then a minimal configuration file is as simple as: \verbatim INPUT = example.cc example.h \endverbatim Assuming the example makes use of Qt classes and perl is located in /usr/bin, a more realistic configuration file would be: \verbatim PROJECT_NAME = Example INPUT = example.cc example.h WARNINGS = YES TAGFILES = qt.tag PERL_PATH = /usr/bin/perl SEARCHENGINE = NO \endverbatim To generate the documentation for the QdbtTabular package I have used the following configuration file: \verbatim PROJECT_NAME = QdbtTabular OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = html WARNINGS = YES INPUT = examples/examples.doc src FILE_PATTERNS = *.cc *.h INCLUDE_PATH = examples TAGFILES = qt.tag PERL_PATH = /usr/local/bin/perl SEARCHENGINE = YES CGI_NAME = search.cgi CGI_URL = http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/cgi-bin DOC_URL = http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/qdbttabular DOC_ABSPATH = /home/dimitri/.html/qdbttabular BIN_ABSPATH = /home/dimitri/bin \endverbatim To regenerate the Qt-1.44 documentation from the sources, you could use the following config file: \verbatim PROJECT_NAME = Qt OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = qt_docs HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS = YES HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES = YES ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = YES MACRO_EXPANSION = YES EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF = YES SEARCH_INCLUDES = YES FULL_PATH_NAMES = YES STRIP_FROM_PATH = $(QTDIR)/ PREDEFINED = USE_TEMPLATECLASS Q_EXPORT= \ QArrayT:=QArray \ QListT:=QList \ QDictT:=QDict \ QQueueT:=QQueue \ QVectorT:=QVector \ QPtrDictT:=QPtrDict \ QIntDictT:=QIntDict \ QStackT:=QStack \ QDictIteratorT:=QDictIterator \ QListIteratorT:=QListIterator \ QCacheT:=QCache \ QCacheIteratorT:=QCacheIterator \ QIntCacheT:=QIntCache \ QIntCacheIteratorT:=QIntCacheIterator \ QIntDictIteratorT:=QIntDictIterator \ QPtrDictIteratorT:=QPtrDictIterator INPUT = $(QTDIR)/doc \ $(QTDIR)/src/widgets \ $(QTDIR)/src/kernel \ $(QTDIR)/src/dialogs \ $(QTDIR)/src/tools FILE_PATTERNS = *.cpp *.h q*.doc INCLUDE_PATH = $(QTDIR)/include RECURSIVE = YES \endverbatim For the Qt-2.1 sources I recommand to use the following settings: \verbatim PROJECT_NAME = Qt PROJECT_NUMBER = 2.1 HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS = YES HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES = YES SOURCE_BROWSER = YES INPUT = $(QTDIR)/src FILE_PATTERNS = *.cpp *.h q*.doc RECURSIVE = YES EXCLUDE_PATTERNS = *codec.cpp moc_* */compat/* */3rdparty/* ALPHABETICAL_INDEX = YES COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX = 3 IGNORE_PREFIX = Q ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = YES MACRO_EXPANSION = YES INCLUDE_PATH = $(QTDIR)/include PREDEFINED = Q_PROPERTY(x)= \ Q_OVERRIDE(x)= \ Q_EXPORT= \ Q_ENUMS(x)= \ "QT_STATIC_CONST=static const " \ _WS_X11_ \ INCLUDE_MENUITEM_DEF EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF = YES EXPAND_AS_DEFINED = Q_OBJECT_FAKE Q_OBJECT ACTIVATE_SIGNAL_WITH_PARAM \ Q_VARIANT_AS \endverbatim Here Doxygen's preprocessor is used to substitute some macro names that are normally substituted by the C preprocessor, but without doing full macro expansion. */
